Day 3: Themes

This stream addresses various issues relevant to the management of MPAs, including ones that have attracted outstanding attention from contributors, such as management plan, stakeholder engagement and MPA.

Management-plan implementation [3A]

A central concern of MPAs administrators lies in taking into account different contexts and diverse interests. This is the raison d’être of management plans: they define site-specific conservation objectives, action programs, regulations, monitoring instruments, as well as control and surveillance procedures.

Stakeholder engagement [3B]

Management plans are increasingly broadening their scope to encompass socio-economic development, through the involvement of a wide range of stakeholders.

Financing an MPA on a daily basis [3C]

MPA managers’ every effort hinges on their ability to secure sustainable financing. Because a critical output is expected of the congress in this respect, experience-informed exchanges will lead to concrete proposals.
